1 The Beginning

I was walking with my headphones in all the way along the River Chelmer, I was out walking down the side of a river because I just walked in on my girlfriend cheating on me with my best friend. Not the best thing to walk in on. So in order to clear my mind I went for a walk, it was a bright an sunny day, but I couldn't enjoy it the images of her cheating on me kept replaying over and over inside my brain, tormenting me to death.

I was walking for almost 30 minutes when I finally had to take a break. I stopped by the nearest bench and just sat there dying in my mind. I was kicked out of my stupor when I started hearing screams from somewhere to my left. I looked around and saw many people gathered by the side of a foot bridge that crossed the Chelmer. Wondering what the fuss was all about I pushed my way through the crowd and saw that they were staring at a young girl drowning and nobody was doing anything! Without even thinking I jumped the railing into the freezing cold waters of the river. I didn't know how to swim well but my lessons from 20 years ago kicked in and I was slowly but surely making my way towards the girl. When I finally made it to her the first thing I saw was her disgustingly dirty clothes, and then the shockingly skinny body underneath barely floating above the water. I shook the thoughts away and focused on rescuing her, grabbing her waist I struggled my way back to the railing. The closer I got the harder it was, but through sheer force of will I crawled my way there. Blacking out intermittently I knew I wasn't gong to make it, but with the last of my strength I shoved the girl towards the shore. Then I blacked out, thinking I was going to die, I smiled to the world one last time hoping the girl made it.

But right before the endless abyss of death I heard a deep robotic voice say:

{BEEP} {Sileo System initialized}

{System has detected that host is in critical condition}

{Activating Healing Protocol}
